From My Hands & Heart: How Craniosacral Therapy Can Benefit Your Health

By Monica Wilcox

A week ago I had never heard of Craniosacral Therapy. Today I’m lying on a massage table getting my first session. Serendipity: the gift that keeps on giving. The therapist, Kate Mackinnon asks me a few questions. How am I feeling? Great, minus the stress of introducing your novel to the world. Any aches or pains? Would my daughter’s social studies grade count? Any surgeries or traumatic physical events. Well, I threw my upper ribs out doing P90X, I’ve delivered 2 kids and I had this freakishly embarrassing waterskiing accident in the early ‘90s that cleaned out my bowels, bladder and uterus. I eventually ended up in surgery to...

6 StepsTo Authentic Self Confidence For Women

By Dana Theus

Why would anyone follow a leader with no self-confidence? They wouldn’t. Do women struggle with self-confidence more than men? Yes. Then why are we surprised when there aren’t as many female leaders as male leaders in our businesses and society? We shouldn’t be. Now, I know very well that moving women in to more leadership positions is a bit more complicated than this and I’m not trying to suggest an easy fix to women’s inequality… but I am saying that for too long women have “bought” the stories society has told us about how we “can’t lead like a man” (which, by the way, research says is true) and that “leading like a woman...

What Needs To Die?

By Danielle Dowling M.A.

What in your life is so inflamed + aggravated that it gnaws at your psyche? What keeps you up at night bleary-eyed + restless? What keeps you contemplative in the shower? Zoned out behind the wheel? What in your life is dying, fading, falling apart so that something else can be manifest? And why don’t you let it die? Whatever it is, is clearly over. Done. Finito. Yet, we cling, white-knuckled, to any remaining scraps. This is our ancient fear of change run amuck. And we tell ourselves this present decay must be better than the unknown that is waiting on the other side. Like a scavenger dog we sink our teeth into the...

The True Power Of No

By Midge Greentree

I'll always remember my first, real, big no in the work world. A new supervisor, who wanted to look good on paper, who wanted to impress, I guess, began suggesting that I conduct my business in unethical ways. Soon, the suggestions became recommendations. And then came the closed-door directive. I didn't actually say no – I didn't actually say anything. I was actually quite dumbfounded and completely dumbstruck. I just remember leaving that room and meaning no, knowing it. Still, I called Pops for some advice, because I was twenty-something and new at this career thing, and Pops had seen and done it all, I was sure. Sure enough,...

Be More By Doing Less: Removing The Distraction Of Busyness

Ashley Ryan,

April 15, 2013

re“It’s not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?” ~Henry David Thoreau Growing up I didn’t think much of myself. I grew up poor, and spent much of my childhood alone. My father wasn’t around and my mother worked full-time, so I had to look out for myself from a very young age. This created emotional baggage, which I carried for many years. Even though things started rocky, I was committed to myself and consciousness at an early age. I always felt like... Read More.....

How to Be Your Own Civil Rights Leader: Three Ways to Take Inspiration from the Legends If you support marriage equality, you probably recognize that every human being should enjoy the same rights and privileges. Period. Have you ever thought about that in reference to your own internal community? Are there aspects of your personality that cause you pain, jealousy, guilt, sadness? Would you just rather ignore them, because they make you feel uncomfortable? Think about your internal... Read More.....

How To Let Go Of The Ghosts By Letting Go Of Their Stuff

Monica Wilcox,

April 13, 2013

I have a ghost lurking in my closet. Honestly, I’ve got more than one. There’s a few hovering in the shed, a cluster under our guest bed and tubs full of the little buggers in the attic. Cleaning them out will be more than a weekend project; it feels closer to extermination. That’s why I’ve been avoiding it. I inherited these ghosts: a satin baptism dress, a baby blanket, a ratty haired doll. They are the very last of my parents belongings; pieces of a story that went undocumented. They are...

What Would You Do If You Were Told You Were Stage 4?

Steve Sisgold,

April 12, 2013

About two years ago a good friend of mine woke up with a very swollen belly, out of nowhere. Later that night she was told she had stage 4 ovarian cancer. She had no medical insurance, but her community rose to support her and she combined regimes of some great alternative therapies and also had surgery and did chemotherapy. She searched and posted for the perfect approach and questioned if she should do chemo, and did her research and soul searching. It made me wonder what I would do if I... Read More.....

You're Not Special

Leslee Horner,

April 11, 2013

I first came across this idea a few weeks ago on Benjamin Smythe’s youtube page. He was answering someone’s question about how they can feel better when they look in the mirror. Basically he said that thinking we are ugly is just another way to feel special. There is negative “special” just as much as there is positive “special.” Uniqueness or Unity? I was at a meeting at my Unity church some time back and we were reviewing our vision statement. There was one particular line that just... Read More.....
